Jack is off to market to sell Winona the family cow. But Jack is easily confused and is persuaded by Beany Bob to exchange Winona for five magic beans. When Jack gets home his mother isn't pleased and throws the beans away, sending Jack to sleep in the cowshed.

The next morning Jack awakes to find a beanstalk growing up into the sky. Jack climbs the beanstalk to a giant's palace in the clouds and finds a hen that lays golden eggs and a magic harp. The giant discovers Jack and chases him back down the beanstalk, throwing a golden egg at him as he escapes. Show less
